Kierana looks at me, her blue eyes, no doubt from her father, full of curiosity. I look around at the forest we were in and sigh. What was I thinking, bringing a four-year-old to some place that I didn't even know of? We had been in this forest for a week, everyday going a little further from Hyrule.

"Mama? Where are we?" I shake my head, trying my best not to let her see the tears in my eyes.

"I'm not sure, sweetheart. But we're not staying here. Come on, baby, lets' get onto Siyavash and go somewhere else." As I pick her up, I silently curse myself for getting into this. I had to go and let myself be seen with her. As we ride off even deeper into the woods, I wonder if Link meant what he said about coming to get her.

"People, I didn't hire you all to not get results!" the new king of Hyrule was pacing in the corridor that he had first found out about his daughter a week ago, yelling at all of the people that were gathered there. "I want to find out where she is. She is only twenty- three, and she has a four-year-old with her. You say that you searched the ranch?" A dark-haired man stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, there was only a man there, quite old, and he was senile. He had no idea who Malon even was, much less have seen her recently." Link cursed under his breath.

"All of you who didn't go to the ranch please step forward." A good 1/3 of the people there came up, most of them women. Link surveyed the group, smiling when he caught sight of a girl with jet-black hair. He motioned her forward. Looking at her face, he nodded. "You." She looked at him uncertainly.

"Yes?" She was shaking so badly, Link immediately felt sorry for her, but kept the idea of Malon with his daughter clearly in his mind.

"I want you to come with me. I'm giving you an assignment."

We finally come out of the forest a few days later. Kierana started to run around at the sight of something other than trees, but she was as surprised as I am to see a large stone wall not a quarter of a mile away. I look more closely at it before finally realizing that it's the wall of a large town. I see a large tower, and gasp as realization comes over me.

"Clocktown," I breathe, shocked at the sudden feeling that overcame me. I was sent back in time to the night that Kierana was conceived, right after Link had come back from this very place. I feel the tears coming on and I brush them away before my precious daughter can see them.

"Mama? Where are this?" I laugh at her misspeaking and pick her up, much to her delight.

"This is where we are going to be staying for a little while," I say, leading Siyavash to a tree and tying her there. "Let's go see what this little place is like."

Clandestine walked up to the main building on the ranch, hoping that Talon was there. She smoothed down the blue skirt that she was wearing and tried to remember what Link had told her.

"You bear an uncanny resemblance to Malon's cousin, Filipina. You are going to be our eyes and ears. Go to her father and tell him that you are there to see Malon. He will tell you everything because he is old, and won't be able to tell the difference between you and his real niece. So don't worry about it. You had better do this right and you had better get results."

"Okay, here goes nothing," she muttered as she knocked on the door of the house. When no one came to answer, she turned to leave, but was startled when the door flew open. There, in the doorway, stood a very large man. He squinted at the girl and his eyes opened wide.

"My dearest Filipina! How are you! Oh, if only Malon were here to see you," he said, brushing tears off of his beard. "Please, come on in!" Clandestine smiled at him then quickly changed it to a look of sorrow.

" My dearest uncle, what happened to Malon?"
